âEspionageâ can be called an act done for oneâs own country whereas âtreasonâ is an act that is done against oneâs own country. But espionage can become treason when the person involved steals valid information from his own country and gives it to another.
The Espionage Act, passed in June 1917, provided penalties of 20 years imprisonment and fines up to $10,000 for those convicted of interfering with military recruitment. The law also authorized the Postmaster General to remove treasonable or seditious material from the mail.
